You are correct, it is my way. English is my native language, I love it, and hate to see it abused. If you are an adult, native english speaker, you should know how to spell the word "curt" without use of spellcheck.[/quote

LindaJ,
I have read many words posted by you that were not spelled correctly, Two months ago you spelled confrontational (confrontental):-o Anita.
I'll have a box of Good&Plenty.

 

Ms. LindaJ, I waited a few days to bring this up.

If you go back and reread your own posts, you will find that you too have made mistakes that other bloggers did not feel the need to correct you on. And, yes, I use the term bloggers, and if the time was taken to google the word before targeting the missuse of the word, one would see that the very first google definition is exactly in the context I used it.

However, check your own blogs for mistakes before you correct others.

The word is mu-mu, not muu-muu.
The correct word would be said, not sand.
The correct spelling is foreclosure, not forclosure.
The correct term is air travel, not airtravel.

I found enough worth pointing out in your most recent blogs. I did not feel the need to dig any further.

So, why was it so important to correct soneone when you yourself are not a master of English either?

Ms. LindaJ, I would also like to mention that too often I have seen inviduals concern thierself with other peoples small mistakes because thier own mistakes and concerns are too big to face. Certainly you are not one of those people, I mean, I never read that into your posts before...

There is possibly no more flawed person walking today than myself. I own my flaws and spelling and grammar errors, and speell isht enny frackd up weigh I wont. 2. 😀

Few people will correct someone who makes a casual mistake. Someone who makes chronic mistakes is likely to draw a lot of corrections.

It comes down to respect for oneself and one's audience. If I present something to you all in order to make a point but I cannot express myself clearly, what would that tell you about the point I'm trying to make? If someone wants to post something about government corruption but they cannot spell 'government corruption', every misspelling flags the entire post as BS.

Hypocrisy is another flag. Take, for example, saucey above who insists on schooling us about the rudeness of correcting people's mistakes. If that irony were not rich enough, s/he defiantly persists in misusing the term 'blogger'.

This is comedy gold. The next batch of popcorn is on me!

Our language is ever changing, accept it.

a lot of people refer to participating in a forum as blogging, but please note this segment in the wikipedia entry grabbed by your search query:

Origins

Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists[9] and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). In the 1990s, Internet forum software, created running conversations with "threads." Threads are topical connections between messages on a virtual "corkboard."

technically this is a forum or even a bulletin board, but it is not a blog in the true sense. it does, however, allow those who may or may not have blogs, to communicate with like-minded people...

a blog is a site that uses a content management system and database to store entries that appear in some chronological order. people may or may not be permitted to sign up so that they may contribute to the blog, creating articles and comments. a blog may include linkage to a forum or message board such as this one, for more free-form online conversations, as well as other ways to communicate via widgets and plug-ins by video or social media such as facebook or twitter.

over time, i am sure that this usage will become more common as people who don't have blogs consider this "blogging" but really it is not.

I agree that language is changing, and I love every single nuance, every new idiom and the new lexicon that has evolved in the information age. I'm as 1337 as anyone!

Bad spelling and poor grammar are not change. They do not advance the language or our ability to communicate. They are simply signs of laziness and they convey apathy and disrespect.

Good, you've learned how to use google. Now, check this out:

Forum - a noticeboard program that allows people to start new topics or respond to existing ones. [That's us, here!]

Blog - a diary or news column type of page display, normally with a comments section for readers' opinion. [That's NOT us.]

CMS = content management system - server-based software that holds and publishes all types of content, and often has multiple options as to how the website appears and functions.

Wiki - a visitor-edited resource such as an encyclopaedia.

( Lots more here... )

Additionally, blogs are usually public whereas message boards/forums are private. That is to say that the original poster on a blog is making a public statement and inviting public comment. Forum postings are usually restricted in some degree to the forum membership.

Okay, so anyone can pick whatever definition they want to justify thier use.

Defining BLOG now seems like defining a color. Everyone can be right & wrong at the same time.

locally is it known as blogging.

SunnyCaribe, please take a moment to reread your own past posts. I have found numerous grammatical errors in your posts. Are you yourself to be considered lazy & disrespectful? I don't think so just because mistakes were made. Mistakes are just mistakes, not a factor in defining a person. Heck, even God allows for mistakes!

The point now is that so far not one of you bloggers who feel the need to correct other bloggers has written our language correctly in every instance either. Self-appointed perfection has no purpose here. Would you not speak or associate with a person who does not write correctly? How sad for you if you answer yes...

saucey,

the definition is either correct or incorrect. for someone who does not know much about blogging, perhaps this is blogging.

you can call a chicken a goat, but i will not be eating your stew mutton if that is the case.

this is not blogging, period. a blog is a web-log, which is a chronicle.

this is a forum, which is a collection of conversations.
